Johnnie Walker ‘John Walker & Sons Odyssey’ Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

John Walker & Sons Odyssey is a celebration of the epic journeys our whiskies undertook in the early years of the 20th Century, as they travelled over the oceans to every corner of the world.

This rare Triple Malt was created by Master Blender Jim Beveridge to evoke the aromas and sensations of this defining era. A new super-premium release from Johnnie Walker whose launch has been continuously celebrated by an extraordinary around the world journey of a 157 foot luxury yacht.

This luxury blended malt has been based on the notes of Alexander Walker. It is made up of three carefully selected single malts married in European oak casks. The crystal decanter moves along with the motion of the ocean and its ‘swing’ design means it doesn’t fall over. Clever.

He took as his inspiration the legendary Johnnie Walker ‘Swing’, created in 1932 by the founder’s grandson, Sir Alexander Walker. He was a blender of extraordinary skill who handed down his detailed notes for future generations.

Critic tasting note: “Jim Beveridge delivered these aromas of toffee apple, peach, and rich berry fruits by working with European oak casks. The smoke is timid, with hints of background salinity. The finely structured mouthfeel is where this triple malt whisky truly shines: the polished smoothness is exceptional.

The flavor journey begins with honey, citrus, and swirling melted chocolate, building to a fire of squeezed orange oils, dry fruits, and pecan nuttiness before concluding with rich espresso, dark caramels, and plain chocolate. Immaculate.” – 93/100, Whisky Advocate

The recipe is based on notes made by Sir Alexander Walker (grandson of the founder John “Johnnie” Walker). Beautifully bottled in a crystal-grade decanter and rocking box (to stop it falling over on the high seas), this seriously malt driven, fruity and smooth whisky will take your taste buds on a journey though honey, caramel, citrus, red berries and mellow smoke. But be quick because we are now one of the last companies with any stock and we don’t expect them to hang around for long.
